"Go to their door to apologize?"
The sinister old man looked incredulous. "No matter how extraordinary Lu Tao is, he's only at the Divine Platform Realm. Even if he can kill a late-stage Martial King, any Martial God from my Soul Palace could easily kill him. Why did the Ancestor send me to apologize?"
"Besides, I only rashly wanted to buy the pill formula, and I didn't do anything else to offend Lu Tao, so why bother?"
The sinister old man was very puzzled.
To his confusion, the Soul Palace Ancestor only said one thing: "Lu Tao just asked me to work hard, and eight more Martial Gods have emerged. The Ninth Prince and his son have also joined the Immortal Sect."
Boom—
Recalling his conversation with the ancestor, the sinister old man's mind was still reeling.
"Lu Tao, he actually has a second-grade high-level breakthrough pill!"
The sinister old man's eyes widened in horror, and he couldn't help but mutter under his breath.
The third-grade superior breakthrough pill and the second-grade superior breakthrough pill are not even in the same league.
The difference is so great that it's like comparing breaking through to Martial King to breaking through to Martial God—it's worlds apart.
Therefore.
Although some people had speculated about it before, it was just speculation.
The sinister old man also didn't believe that Lu Tao could produce such a pill that was comparable to a divine medicine, no, it should be said that it was even more exaggerated than a divine medicine.
But the fact is, it exists.
and.
The Ninth Prince and his son have actually joined the Immortal Sect, which is unprecedented.
This shows that the imperial family of Daqian highly valued the Immortal Clan.
Their attitude towards the Immortal Sect was even better and more friendly than their attitude towards other Martial God-level forces.
These two things—
No wonder the Martial God Ancestor of the Soul Palace sent him to apologize with the Soul Palace's Heaven-Rank cultivation techniques.
We really can't afford to offend them.
Thinking of this.
The sinister old man was immediately filled with extreme remorse.
If they had known this would happen, they shouldn't have pretended to be some kind of rogue cultivator. They should have just come to his door honestly, humbled themselves, and resolved the conflict with Lu Tao. Such friction was nothing to them, the experts of the Divine Platform.
The strange thing is that the sect's face is at stake.
Now things are really messed up. Not only have we lost eighteen Breakthrough Pills of various grades for nothing, but we also have to give away the Soul Palace's Heaven-Rank cultivation technique. It's like losing both our wife and our army.
If we had used these Heaven-Rank cultivation techniques to exchange for Breakthrough Pills from the beginning, we could have obtained not only a mere Tier 3 High-Grade Breakthrough Pill, but even a Tier 2 High-Grade one, and more than one at that.
This loss isn't just a Heaven-Rank cultivation technique, it's practically a Martial God!
"Sigh, sometimes it's really unnecessary to maintain the sect's reputation."
At this moment, the sinister old man couldn't help but think of this sentence, and then followed Gu Shengjie and flew together to the Immortal Sect.
It didn't take long.
The two arrived at the gate of the Immortal Sect, clasped their hands in greeting, and called out loudly to the sect: "Gu Shengjie of the Shadowless Palace (Wen Rong of the Soul Hall) has come to pay respects to Sect Master Lu."
"Come in."
Lu Tao activated the formation, allowing the two to enter.
This time, he didn't even bother to come out of the sect to greet him.
This left Gu Shengjie utterly helpless.
It can only be said that he lost face himself, and Lu Tao is not to blame.
"Greetings, Sect Master Lu."
The two arrived at the main hall and bowed respectfully to Lu Tao, showing no sign of reluctance.
"Please sit down."
Lu Tao sat at the head of the table. Despite the minor friction between him and the two men, he still offered them seats.
"Thank you, Sect Master Lu!"
The two clasped their hands in thanks, and Gu Shengjie took a seat, but Wen Rong did not.
"Sect Master Lu, what happened earlier was my fault. I am truly sorry. I hope that Sect Master Lu will not hold a grudge and will forgive my rudeness."
Wen Rong stepped forward and respectfully handed a ring to Lu Tao with both hands, saying, "These are some soul cultivation techniques that my Soul Palace has collected or created over the years. Consider them an apology, and I hope Sect Master Lu will accept them."
Lu Tao's heart stirred; the cultivation technique for cultivating the soul was exactly what he lacked.
Lu Tao took the ring and glanced at it, feeling quite surprised.
There are many cultivation methods, all of which are methods for cultivating the soul and martial arts related to the soul. Among them, there are more than fifty kinds of Heaven-rank cultivation methods.
This pleased Lu Tao greatly.
Lu Tao smiled and put the ring away, saying, "For the sake of the cultivation technique, let bygones be bygones."
"Thank you, Sect Leader Lu. I'll take my leave now."
Upon hearing this, Wen Rong felt relieved and immediately took his leave.
but.
Just as he turned to leave, Lu Tao stopped him, saying, "Since you've apologized, you should still receive these pills. Take them."
A ring floated in front of Wen Rong.
Wen Rong took it and saw that it contained Breakthrough Pills. To his surprise, there were as many as forty-two Breakthrough Pills of various grades.
Obviously.
Lu Tao also considered these techniques used as an apology as a transaction for him.
Although this time there were more cultivation techniques and the techniques were of a higher grade, the number of pills was the same, but it was still an apology.
so.
Wen Rong not only had no complaints, but was even extremely happy.
"Thank you very much, Sect Leader Lu. I admire your magnanimity the most."
Wen Rong bowed deeply to Lu Tao, then bid farewell to the two of them, saying, "Sect Master Lu, Senior Gu, I shall take my leave now."
"Go."
Lu Tao waved his hand to send Wen Rong away, then looked at Gu Shengjie.
Gu Shengjie hurriedly took out a ring and handed it to Lu Tao, saying, "Sect Master Lu, these are all the pupil techniques of my Shadowless Palace, including those of the Heavenly Rank. I hope Sect Master Lu can give me another chance next time."
"Are you sure it's all eye techniques?"
Lu Tao took the ring and examined it. There were many eye techniques inside, especially over sixty Heaven-rank eye techniques. But he was still not at ease and asked another question.
Gu Shengjie said sincerely, "Yes, all the pupil techniques are still there."
"Well, then I'll give you a chance."
Lu Tao nodded, put away the ring, took out the prayer statue, placed it in the main hall, and said, "Now worship. You only have one chance. Whether you can seize it or not is up to you."
"Yes, thank you, Sect Master Lu!"
Gu Shengjie took a deep breath and then began to worship the statue with great devotion.
Lu Tao nodded to himself as he watched his faith value rise.
Lu Tao was about to return to his cave.
Seventh Master has arrived.
As soon as Seventh Master arrived at the main hall, he saw Gu Shengjie paying his respects and immediately shook his head helplessly, saying in a voice transmission, "How was his worship this time? Could it be just for show again?"
“This time you’re quite devout,” Lu Tao replied with a smile.
"That's alright, this time we've learned our lesson."
Seventh Master nodded inwardly. It wasn't entirely hopeless, but it was a pity to waste a Breakthrough Pill, especially since that was a Martial God.
Seventh Master shook his head, no longer thinking about it, and handed a ring to Lu Tao, saying, "This is what you wanted, take a look."
"Thank you, Seventh Master."
Lu Tao chuckled and eagerly took the ring. He immediately saw a dozen or so grayish-brown spiritual veins, devoid of any vital energy, as if they were withered and dead.
There is one high-grade spiritual vein, three mid-grade veins, and the rest are all low-grade.
These spiritual veins include not only those belonging to the imperial family, but also those belonging to other sects and forces.
In addition, there are other techniques, secret arts, hidden records, and so on, a whole lot of them.
Lu Tao put away the ring with satisfaction, then took out a few porcelain bottles and handed them to Seventh Master, saying with a smile, "Seventh Master, this is just a small token of my appreciation."
"You're quite thoughtful, kid."
Seventh Master casually put away the Breakthrough Pill, then his expression turned serious, and he said, "Lu Tao, you must have obtained quite a few level-one materials during your trip overseas, right?"
Lu Tao nodded and said, "That's right, Seventh Master wants to forge a divine artifact?"
"We do have this plan."
Seventh Master nodded in agreement and said, "Could you lend these materials to my royal family? If we can forge a few divine artifacts, it would be of great help to the Outer Heavens. Afterwards, these divine artifacts will all belong to you, how about it?"
"Alright then, Seventh Master, I won't lend you the materials. I'll just lend you the divine artifact. I happen to want to forge one myself."
The materials definitely couldn't be borrowed; Lu Tao couldn't bear to part with them.
With such materials, he would naturally forge the artifact himself, and return it afterward so he could upgrade it.
"Alright."
Seventh Master nodded. For him, it didn't matter what he borrowed, as long as it could help with the war in Tianwaitian.
But then, Seventh Master said with some concern, "However, won't this interfere with your cultivation?"
"Won't."
Lu Tao shook his head, indicating that there was no need to worry, and then asked, "I wonder what type of divine artifact Seventh Master wants to forge?"
"An attack and a defense artifact, half and half."
Seventh Master had already decided on the type of artifact and said without hesitation, "For offensive artifacts, swords and blades are best. If we have soul materials, we can forge a soul attack artifact. As for defensive artifacts, it would be best if they could defend over a wide area."
Finally, Seventh Master couldn't help but add, "But forging a divine artifact takes a lot of time. Will it really interfere with your cultivation?"
"Don't worry, Seventh Master, just wait a moment."
Lu Tao nodded with a smile and returned to his cave.
Instead of immediately starting to forge the divine artifact, Lu Tao went to his clone's side, took out all the cultivation techniques from his storage space, and handed them to his clone.
"You should hurry up and study the cultivation techniques, prioritizing the three main cultivation techniques, and then study the Heavenly Eye."
The clones nowadays are all at the peak of the Divine Platform realm, possessing powerful divine soul strength and able to scan cultivation techniques extremely quickly.
After they scan it, the system will record it, and he can add points and then have his disciples create clones to farm experience.
"With these techniques, after merging them, the power of my self-created technique should be able to be upgraded by one grade, right?"
Lu Tao gazed at the martial arts manuals scattered on the ground, his heart filled with anticipation.
The cultivation techniques obtained through this transaction with various forces and sects far exceed the millions obtained through transactions in the secret realm.
He believed it.
After adding points and integrating them, the power of the three chapters of the Immortal Scripture, including Essence, Qi and Spirit, as well as various martial arts and secret techniques, should be comparable to that of other high-grade Heaven-rank techniques when they are at the Earth Rank.
This represents a leap of a whole major grade.
How terrifying.
After a brief moment of daydreaming, Lu Tao arrived at the weapon-refining room and began forging a divine weapon.
